#122Finally I can get rid of those deadend Pinterest results... Edit. And quora
There is also a privacy respecting frontend for Quora which removes the bloat https://github.com/digitalblossom/alternative-frontends#quor...
Privacy is important, but in this particular case I just want to hide low quality search results.

ignoring social justice concerns, "blocklist" is a more descriptive word

#124Anyone know a similar extension that works for DuckDuckGo too? (Ideally one extension that covers numerous search engines) I've been using "Personal Blocklist(not by Google)" for Google search and is pretty good too: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/personal-blocklist...
It works with duckduckgo as well, you just enable it in the options menu.

#125I like this extension but I don't use it that much because I tend to avoid Google...
Re: uBlacklist – Block specific sites from appearing in Google search results
#126This tool is amazing. I know is simple but it has made search sooooo much better. It works on other search engines besides google as well.
Yeah I know you can do it with uBlock but having the button is much simpler.

#127You can already do this if you're logged into google I have geeksforgeeks blocked because that site is a complete pile of garbage
How? I thought they did away with this feature a decade ago.

That particular framing only has "power" if we give it. Once you open that can of worms, you will struggle to put it back. Next up we get white, yellow and red. Take all the words out there that use those and imagine what chaos and hatred it'll cause when we start trying to accommodate everyone.

...or use Grease/Tamper/Violent- monkey and the excellent Google Hit Hider by Domain[0] --which is free and [in spite of the name] works across all major search engines. I feel like an evangelist for this script as I seem to mention it on an almost monthly basis here. But, as the saying goes "No connection. Just a happy user." PS: as I said last time 'uBlacklist' was promoted here; whatever the merits of your product…
You’re joking right? We’re on a forum where a good chunk of the people commenting have 6-figure salaries, some on the very high side of that. And some here have a lot more money than that. $10/mo for something used many times every day is a drop in the bucket for many. It’s not true for all, but for many.
It’s not the amount. It’s the value for me.
$10 for something that is minimal value is the path to ruin, especially when done by many people.
There’s opportunity cost (ie, what if I donated to charity, etc) but mainly I want to support high value products with some link to costs. All these “just the price of coffee” 4-hour-work-week type things are an unhealthy way of looking at the world.
I like open source so I can stop worrying about stuff that has near zero marginal costs.
I hate to think of a future where everything I enjoy or use is “just $10 every month.”
